Sabrage

Raise a glass (or a saber) to Sabrage, the electrifying world premiere at Lafayette London that promises a heady mix of sophistication, seduction, and champagne-fueled ecstasy. Inspired by the daring Napoleonic tradition of slicing open bottles with a saber, this theatrical spectacle delivers high-end cabaret, spellbinding acrobatics, and vintage French glamour in equal measure. With a cast of international talent curated by Scott Maidment—the visionary director behind Madonna’s Rebel Heart Tour—Sabrage is a sensory feast. Set against the intimate backdrop of Lafayette, known for hosting music’s biggest names like Charli XCX, Maggie Rogers, Becky Hill, and Anne-Marie, this show redefines hedonistic entertainment. Expect rich textures, smooth indulgence, and an utterly unexpected finish. After 25 years and 32 countries, Strut & Fret, with their cheeky, opulent theatre, is teaming up with the Olivier & Tony-winning Menier Chocolate Factory for a showstopper!

The story

Step into a world where luxury meets rebellion, inspired by the fearless Hussars of Napoleon’s cavalry. In Sabrage, passion, power, and precision intertwine as performers bring to life the artistry of celebration and excess. From the opulent salons of 19th-century France to the cutting-edge theatrics of today, this spectacle explores the fine line between elegance and abandon. But when the blade meets the bottle, who really wields control—the one who sabers, or the one who surrenders? One thing’s for sure: the night will leave you intoxicated in more ways than one.
